Based in Santa Fe, photographer Bryce Risley is currently engaged in a multi-year project to collect images and stories from members of Albuquerque’s hot air ballooning community. He plans to publish his findings in book form in The Albuquerque Balloonist. This exhibition of thirty photographs is a small sample of the work that he has collected for the project so far.
